    Illicit Drug Use

    I would be very leery about taking anyone's advice from this board -- all strangers to you -- on this topic. We all know what the right thing to do is and how we would all advise someone prior to their telling that lie But setting the record straight once it's been told is an entirely different...

    NROTC Scholarship results?

    I think if you can get a hold of the right person at the University anything is possible for an already admitted student. I would start with the veterans liaison or equivalent office and ROTC detachment or use LinkedIn to try to find a former veteran in the admissions department.

    Passport Issue

    Call your nearest State Department Office and explain. They'll get you in quickly in person at their location if you can travel there. If the person you speak with cannot or won't help, ask for the Diplomatic Security Service (DipSec) agent. Many are former military and will take a personal...

    AFROTC vs. West Point Appointment

    I did 11 years Army (enlisted, 2 career fields: Airborne Infantry and then Intel) before transferring to Air Force (2 career fields: enlisted investigations and then commissioned JAG). I knew in 1988, as an Infantryman corporal when we stopped en route to the UK at Loring AFB Maine -- and they...

    AFROTC final high school grades

    If it's a one-off they won't care P/F vs a C grade. They're looking for kids who blow off school after acceptance.

    AFROTC Board Results

    DS received the 4-yr AFROTC Type 7 scholarship today (converted to Type 1 because he is admitted to one of the 16 designated schools). He received the DODMERB email notification but nothing from AFROTC. When he logged in to check AFROTC status, the award is listed. You've got to click...

    USAFA Appointment List Class of 2025

    Thanks for the clarification. My info was, admittedly, from when I was 20 (credit transfers) and a few years back (empty seats). Thanks.

    Third AFROTC Scholarship Board Cancelled

    If he wants a life of service, now is as good a time as any to become acclimated. "The beatings will continue until morale improves." If it was easy, everyone would do it.

    Third AFROTC Scholarship Board Cancelled

    Nope. Quitting time was 1700 at AFRS in San Antonio. Maybe tomorrow. "Check's in the mail" and "We'll send someone right over."

    AFROTC Board Results

    I wouldn't hold my breath. We've seen nothing so far to indicate the PGM they've been waiting for actually issued or that they had time to rack/stack and notify; and no one's DODMERB or AFROTC status has updated yet. But alas, there's still 2 minutes left before they go home at 1700 from AFRS...

    USAFA Appointment List Class of 2025

    Yes, it means it's almost over. There are only two "declines" so far on this board of 175, which represents 15% of the ~1200 expected seats in the class. Last year, the board had fewer than 200 entries at close. If you extrapolate that, more than 85% of the appointment offers have likely...

    Is this considered disqualifying?

    +1 on Mr. Larry Millen. He's the expert and you can PM him. Not a military doctor but a JAG who works with them and sometimes gets roped into DES/MEB issues. As it was described to me, you can "be depressed or anxious" but you cannot "be diagnosed with depression." I'm led to believe being...

    4 year ROTC Scholarship- Army vs Navy

    I was an Army Infantryman. How so ME...except to the extent you can be an Infantryman with any degree (or no degree)???

    4 year ROTC Scholarship- Army vs Navy

    I sent this in a PM to an applicant's parent who was inquiring about law school and thought it might shed some additional light on opportunities in all branches of service (the : Most JAGs come into the services straight out of law school with no prior service and a lot of college debt. If they...

    Cross Commissioning with Roommate

    That's exactly the reason, with no-rated officers also remaining on AD.
